Look who’s finding what’s in Obama-care

Oh look! We havenít even seen full implementation of the so-called Affordable Care Act (Obama-care) and already some of the rats are looking for a way off the ship.

Oh look! We havenít even seen full implementation of the so-called Affordable Care Act (Obama-care) and already some of the rats are looking for a way off the ship.

On Dec. 11, 18 Democratic senators wrote Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and asked that the medical-device tax be delayed. This is one of 20 pending so-called cost-saving taxes that is part of Obama-care. All of the incumbent senators who signed the letter voted for the bill, but such things often happen when you pass legislation before you read it.

The list of signatories to the letter includes such luminaries as Chuck Schumer of New York, Dick Durbin of Illinois, John Kerry of Massachusetts, Al Franken of Minnesota and our very own Kay Hagan.

If Obama-care is such an affordably good deal, why would this even be an issue? If it is delayed, how will the rest of Obama-care be funded as it will still go into effect?

The president said that Obama-care would reduce the cost of premiums by up to $2,500. He obviously misspoke or was misquoted.
